nra wins when the americans are distracted. it's tragic that we have the boston bomb, and the poisoned letters, and people could have brought more pressure to bear if there hadn't been these other factors going on this week. i think the real political future for gun control is out in the states. california is probably next in line for a major gun-control effort like we've seen in maryland new york, and colorado. i think the nra and the gun lobbyists have proven to be near invincible in washington but they're much more vulnerable out in the states. if you can string together enough states you might get some real progress after having been frustrated in dc. >> john: tim, just to clarify if this atrocity hadn't happened in botch you boston, you don't think this would have failed? this would have failed anyway, correct? >> i think it would have been a tougher fight. it's just sick but i think people have been able to duck this fight and the political consequences of blocking this legislation because there is so much attention focus

the nra was for the background check bill. i negotiated personally with the nra as to how this thing got taken care of. all of a sudden it makes sense to check 60% of the people gig g -- buying guns but 40%, it doesn't. >> tooen, what are your concerns when you listen to what he is saying here? >> it does sound reasonable. i guess the paranoia, the fear that when you start asking gun owners to go ahead and register their guns or do a universal background check -- >> i'm not asking them to register, tina. >> that is the paranoia attached to that, sir. i do support universal background checks whole heartedly. the reason why, too, is because i want to know that if my gun is stolen, yes, it registers to me but if i also go ahead and sell a gun to someone, i want to protect myself that i have done the legal and responsible thing as a citizen. >> richard, so let's talk about universal background checks. do you have any concerns about a national registry? and also let's talk about other parts of the discussion of the debate since san

they do not believe in bucking the nra. the nra's a very powerful c constituency within the republican conference and you need 60 votes to get any major legislation through. you know, while there is support, overwhelming pup all right support for expanded background checks a lot of these folks do not feel the same kind of pressure back home. they're set in their political views on the republican side as well as, as you mentioned, those handful of republican -- soy, democratic senators, four who voted against this measure, including three of who are facing re-election next year in red states. while this -- how this tragedy has shifted the debate in washington but it really has. shifted a lot of these folks' views who are still dead set against any gun control measure. >> see, if somebody was just showing up and watching this debate for the first time say yesterday, they would be pretty confused that a majority of senators voted to have background checks, a majority came out and said let's do something. it doesn't affect guns

we talk about the lawmakers' nra score. now if you will, michael bloomberg is attempting to even the score and to counter, jim demint says we'll do the same thing. will these scores matter in. >> unless jim demint gets a huge amount of money from a support he, which is quite possible, he is not playing at the same level as michael bloomberg is. this is a big development on the more progressive side of the spectrum. it means this argument will be joined. for the first time, those who are against common sense gun safety legislation will pay a political price and might see the end of their political career. tamron, this is the only language politicians understand. if they get rated low and then beaten in facing a lot of money. the other thing that's happening, you're quite right that this is an important moment right now. because remember at the state of the union address, the president said let them vote. these families of these victims, they deserve a vote. so now the issue has moved somewhat from gun control to our system.

the nra and the crazy support of max baucus. i'm not going to say it's crazy to support max baucus because they got what they wanted but they're so supportive with money you understand why the senators vote in that way. you have to change the structure of the filibuster. noah is right with four democratic senators they only would have gotten to 59 but they shouldn't have to get past 59. they shouldn't have to get past 50 on this. that's why the rules have to change. >> cenk: i want to leave here with one amazing fact. do you know because of the filibuster and the small states with two senators and the large states also only having two senators. they only need--the senators representing less than 12% of the population in this country to block any bill. 12% of the population can block any legislation the way the senate is structured now. that's crazy. there is something fundamentally wrong with that. we're going to take a break and come back and talk about immigration. and what is wrong with that. marco rubio looked like he was on
